I never said they were bad so stop putting words in my mouth and attacking me as "complaining".
Back on topic it would encourage more RE builds and diversity, having a bit more power to counter MG with the underutilized upgrade.
They are good but mostly for the fact they have comparable repair to Sturms
Their combat ability is negated by mandatory sweeper
It's not offset if you have a mandatory sweeper
Offset would be able to put it away like sturms, but no matter what you will have less combat power than regular RE. Basic maths, 5 stens better than 4
I am not putting words in your mouth.
This is the definition of complaining, about a unit that one of the most cost efficient engineer unit in the game I might add.
Recovery Sappers come as a no tech call in, with "free" minesweeper, tech free AT grenade, tech free smoke grenade, salvage and can do pretty much everything R.E. .They are superior than R.E.
If you problem is the minesweeper than you should suggest removing it instead of suggesting of further buffing the unit with a sweeper that can be put away.
